Well, it hasn't been quite 4 months...

Bonjour anyone who is still here!

I wanted to have some writing to share the next time I posted here, but all I have are a pile of passive aggressive poems. And my usual plethora of stories that are forever in the process of being written. (Lately I've been working on a short story. I was enchanted with it once, but now I feel I am doing a poor job writing it. But I shall prevail and finish. I hope.)

To be honest, I am trying not to feel like a complete failure. I don't even want to talk about the things I have failed at. Yet everyone (my parents, mainly) is still so supportive, and I'm sure at any moment they will realize they are wasting their time and love.

Oh, but I didn't want to head down that miry road...

Hm.

Some highlights since I last posted: I turned 20 (is that a highlight?); my sister got married; I saw a James McCartney gig; I got my very own Ellowyne Wilde (there's a long backstory for that); I've watched all of Community and Pushing Daisies and started a lot of other awesome TV series.

That's all I can think of. A highlight this week is that I'm going to go see Before Midnight in theaters. Eep! Before Sunrise and Before Sunset have been my favourite movies since I was 15. I may end up going to see it alone, which I've never done before, but there is little that could keep me away from seeing it.

I hope to be on blogger more this summer. Mostly to comment, as I'm not sure how much I'll be blogging here. Though I do plan on music blogging in the next week and also more after that, so you can visit my music blog if you like.

Slow and steady wins the race! Yeah! hehe, just felt like throwing in some Aesop. And short stories also take me longer than I'd think, but I'm beginning to like the process/journey/uncertainty (I didn't think that would ever happen?)

Congrats to you (again :) ) for your birthday & to your sister for her marriage.

I'm excited you'll be on blogger more, hope you'll update with some writings—excerpts or poems or whatever— along with your music blog, but what you prefer is what matters of course! Your blog does have such a comfy homelike feel to it.

I was able to find a friend to go with me, but I feel sure I shall someday conquer going to the movies alone! Though I guess the key would be actually wanting to go see the movies that are coming out, which doesn't happen very often. XD

Melee :) I have returned. We need to seriously catch up and chat. (I've made oaths to be more attentive to my blogger this summer as well :P)Message me and I shall reply! maybe we could be email buddies!

Helloooo! :D Yay! And yes, we do! I'd love to be email buddies! If you'd like you can email me at thepeculibletree@gmail.com or you can give me yours and I can email you first. Whichever works best for you. :) xxx

Isn't Ned spectacular? Everything about that show makes me happy. It's a big influence on my own writing too, since I love creating quirky characters and strange situations (and hopefully making them work!).

Congrats on becoming 20! If you haven't felt it already, being in your twenties is a odd feeling. You're not all grown up yet (no matter what anyone tells you) but you're not a kid either. Until I hit thirty (not for another five years), I'm probably going to feel that limbo. And when I'm thirty I'll feel incredibly old and jaded, haha!

I look forward to reading more from you when you're back with posting; your comments on my blog always brighten my day and I love getting to read pieces of your stories :)

Yes I did! :D *dances and bakes pies with you* Ned is spectacular, indeed! Though my sister had already watched it, I introduced the rest of my family to it and they loved it as well! Ahh, yes--I thought I remembered that you were a fan of it; it certainly seems right up your alley. I can definitely see its influence in your writing. (And you do make them work so well.)

Thank you! I am certainly experiencing that feeling... Haha! I suspect I shall be the same at thirty.

Thanks, love! This is several months late now probably, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Ooh, 21. I guess that'd be a more exciting birthday if you were American (drinking laws and all). XDThe wedding was very nice! Didn't dance with any handsome laddies, however. Which is probably good as my dancing skills could scare off the nicest of men. ;)

Awww, thanks dearie! I hope all is going well with you and you are taking care of your beautiful self. xxxxxxxxxx

I felt that I had to leave you an obligatory comment. Just to leave a mark of my presence here. You are too important for me not to write anything at all, even though this is a very old post and you will probably never see my comment. x

"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God."

Psalm 42:11

Just because!

I have a notebook stuffed to the brim with loose papers. These papers are covered in my thoughts, my flights of fancy and various other things.

Most of these writings start flowing at midnight when the house is asleep. I thought I'd create a blog for all these thoughts just because I really have nothing else to do with them!
{This is also a bit of a growing experience for me since I have always been rather loath to share what I write and think.}

Though really, I'm not exactly sure of what exactly will be on this blog yet. We shall see, shan't we? :)
